Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Whitinsville who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Whitinsville are occasionally sentenced to enroll into a drug rehab facility in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has proven very effective in Whitinsville, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
